As Casino Royale continues its worldwide success at the box office, the film is also approaching yet another milestone in the series: an international total of $400,000,000.

As of this past weekend, the international total of Daniel Craig’s first James Bond film sood at approximately $390 million, and breaking this new barrier seems possible with the eventual opening in China (on 30 January) as well as continued takings each week.

According to Box Office Mojo, only three other films in 2006 took in over $400 million internationally: The Da Vinci Code, Ice Age 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.
